When the diaphragm contracts what contract and lift the rib cage?

You have small bands of muscles between the ribs in your rib cage (called external intercostal muscles) that contract when you inhale and pull your ribs up. ?These are semi-active during regular breathing. ?When you are exercising and need to breathe deep and fast, other muscles also jump in and help your rib cage expand, including your serratus anterior, scalene muscles, and sternocleidomastaoid muscles.
But you are right in saying that the diaphragm does not directly lift the rib cage. ?During normal relaxed breathing, the rib cage mostly just expands on its own (the diaphragm causes your lungs to increase in volume, so the ribs just passively lift up to allow the lungs to expand). ?Only during exercise do your muscles (called accessory muscles of respiration) really do anything to your rib cage.

How do the ribs and diaphragm move to aide inspiration?
Respiration is a process which involves taking in of oxygen through inhalation to supply to the tissues and release of carbon di oxide through exhalation from tissues to the atmosphere. During inhalation the rib cabe expands by moving out. The diaphragm moves down. These two process occur simultaneously to increase the air holding capacity of the lungs by expanding the alveolar cells of lungs.
How do you do an isometric contraction?
An isometric contraction is when your muscles contract but there is no movement. To do one you just need to apply a force to an immovable object. In the strength training sense it is done typically using a power rack or weight lifting cage. The isometric contraction is done typically at the most difficult point of a isotonic lift and is held for 8-12 seconds at maximum exertion. The support pins of the power rack are set at the desired height and a steel bar is then pushed against them to perform the isometric contraction.

When you inhale what does the diaphragm and intercostal muscles do?
when you breathe in the intercostal muscles and the diaphragm contract lifting the ribs up.
Where does air move during inspiration?
The diaphragm contracts and a vacuum is created inside the thorax. The lungs expand to fill the space created, as reduced air pressure allows air to expand the lungs. The intercostals' muscle contract and lift the ribcage further increasing the thoracic space.
What muscles move the air in and out of the lungs?
I think you meant move air into the lungs. The muscle is the diaphragm.
What are agnostic pairs?
Perhaps you mean antagonist and agonist muscles often occur in pairs, called antagonistic pairs. As one muscle contracts, the other relaxes. An example of an antagonisic pair is the biceps and triceps; to contract - the triceps relaxes while the biceps contracts to lift the arm.

What happens to your chest when you inhale?
When you inhale, the chest cavity expands. Seventh grade life science, baby.When you breathe in, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. The intercostal muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
